Advance Auto Parts is opening a new location on Grand River in
East Lansing. The automotive store is scheduled to open on January 30.
According to
Advance Auto Parts spokesperson Shelly Whitaker, retail locations are typically about 6,000 square feet and employ about 12 workers.
The new store will service both walk-in customers for do-it-yourself automotive projects and serve commercial customers.
“When you drop your car off at your mechanic and they say it’s going to be a few hours to fix it,” says Whitaker, “meanwhile, they’re calling us and getting your parts ordered.”
The new Advance Auto Parts will be the brand’s third Lansing location and will be one of more than 3,500 retail stores nationwide.
